News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.
The American Liberation of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya Yemen has been an abject failure (ODT)
Tens of thousands of flag-waving Iraqis swarm central Baghdad's wide boulevards demanding the root-and-branch downfall of the political elite in the biggest day of mass anti-government demonstrations since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
How to get the Morrison Government to hire you to advise it on "reconciliation". Call for racial division in the Constitution. Accuse the Prime Minister of being "complicit in mass murder". Liken former Liberal Prime Minister John Howard to Adolf Hitler. Accuse Liberal candidate Jacinta Price of "legitimising racism". It worked for Marcia Langton!

Bolt's always been one for personal revenge. If a single person has ever bested him or shown him out to be the person he really is publically, he becomes obsessed and if it's a woman more so. Miranda Devine was once a colleague the "Divine Miranda" to Bolt not so anymore after she showed him up to be the misogynistic bully he is on public radio.
Marcia Langton falls into the same category but even more so. She's neither a colleague nor a friend. Of Indigenous descent and an Academic she showed Bolt up for what he is when he was judged guilty of racial vilification under the RDA which it might be added wasn't her doing at all but Bolt's own folly. He simply refused to say sorry and had the Human Rights issue judged in court. When pronounced guilty even the News Corp lawyers agreed to leave it at that.
Bolt's been venting his spleen at Marcia Langton ever since. Quite simply Marcia she has made it her right to speak up and complain about the 200 years of hidden Australian history that imported and adopted Colonial social structures and cultural attitudes that have proved so prejudicial and harmful to Indigenous Australians over the centuries. The consequences of which are still seen today in every social metric.
Any Langton complaint or revelation is seen by Bolt as an indication of "Reverse Racism" and of which he's a poor, wealthy, white victim. Bolt seems to believe he "suffers" because of his merited station which he earned and those that didn't are his enemy. Racial division already exists in the Constitution, which Bolt conveniently fails to mention. Good Aborigines are those that side with Bolt. Any PM that for a moment is prepared to listen or hire a complainer or is not ultra Right like he is won't get his support for being or even appearing to be a listener. Now as for Howard sounding like Hitler Remember when Big Day Out banned the Australian flag at their events in 2006-7 because of the 2005 Cronulla riots and the flag became a symbol that enabled violence and disrespect. Bikinis Tees tits painted with the flag became a challenge and a divide that Morrison claimed as a political opportunity. Howard said he'd enshrine in law that the Australian flag wasn't able to be banned in any place or at any event. That was a Hitleresque statement of encouragement for the jackbooted right to do some kicking.
Bolt bragging and making out he was one of the boys back then. The fact he FAILED tells the real story. The details, the memory and who was and was not the centre of attention is in the telling and I doubt "Mike" didn't even come close to stopping because of his mate Andrew... who? Oh, the belly dancer's minder who once to work for Labor that prick whose NOOO was only silent and in his head if at all real. He's the guy who keeps telling us he's Soooo Shy so it needs some context.
However, Bolt's personal memories are so removed from the historical fact that his ex-fiancee almost sued him for defamation. History isn't a tale owned by one person it's a collection and the work and effort put in to discover that collection of perceptions at a time. Work that Fitzsimons is prepared to do and Bolt has never done just criticized for personal reasons.
9 Like Trump listen to Bolt appear to play 2 sides but is still playing one. Toning it down a notc today will he still be toning it down the rest of the year?
Bolt's podcast: Here we have Andrew Bolt whose anti-moderate politics, tribalises anyone daring to call for moderation as a "lefty" or anyone saying 'we' in politics a centre-left whoos. Any group complaining about not getting a fair go is tribal. Conservatives included However, who he claims are the real victims in his reality.
All Andrew Bolt desperately trying to do here is defend himself from a mass murderer whose manifesto sounded more Bolt than anything on the left. What's rattled Bolt is that this mass murderer had a Manifesto and it was alt-right. In short, we have Bolt doing a Trump after Charlottesville saying there is good and bad on both sides, and this was the misguided act of an individual. "I,m really a good guy because all I want is to talk."
Firstly remember when after Barcelona Bolt spoke of how he admired the conviction of the young Jihadis' beliefs that brought them to fight in what they believed. Back then he said he wished Westerners had that same conviction in their's, and it was time they showed it instead of showing their cowardice? Well, Bolt revealed that to be either bullshit or what it is he's saying in his podcast is. It sounded very much an attempt to radicalise some White Christians to fight back. Some only because it's not meant to apply to his sons. Now he doesn't want Dom caught in the "crossfire".
Bolt has made so many indications he'd gladly put on a uniform and fight for this country and expect the kids of today to do so. Another Gallipoli or another Vietnam was in order but not "his" kids of course. That's the sort of hypocrite Andrew Bolt is. However, let's make a reasoned guess about his son Dom whose, not part of this disgusting hardly reasoned or apologetic podcast He is still the dad's tech on it.
Bolt's deflecting trying to seem calm on the surface like a duck on water but paddling like hell underneath. Bolt doesn't just talk about Immigration he's not the misunderstood victim of anything. If anyone has listened to him and remembered Cronulla, he's Alan Jones.
They aren't misinterpreted victims but provocateurs. The danger is that they want to be seen as free speech martyrs in a Democratic Agora where everyone including corporations is meant to be seen as equal, but they're not. Bolt's not on a fruit box he works for those who own the Agora.
Jacinda Adern was right in a true Democracy the Agora is the nation and al citizens "us". Andrew Bolt still insists it's not but a political divide at war. Did he say Abbott shouldn't have sent troops to the Middle East to bomb the crap out of families no he cheered? He was for the lies that excused the invasion of Iraq from where ISIS resulted. Is that his form of political discussion? He's totally against Multilateralism the UN and that forum of debate, and he runs the Bolt Report as an antithesis to debate. He was never for or wanted reasoned discussion then and since Abbott never wanted our parliamentary democracy to work. He wanted and still wants a takeover by an extreme right of this country again lead by Tony Abbott.
For Bolt, anyone against that is "tribalist' Aborigines calling for the Bolt-shiviks to get their foot off their neck are just 'tribalists'. Waleed Aly is a" tribalist " outspoken women are "tribalists". How often have we heard Bolt call them that yet he doesn't say that of himself? Aborigines want justice, not for themselves but all of us, Waleed wants justice for all of us. Bolt alt-right don't want that because it just may mean the loss of privileges. So no need to do anything but policing these complainers or those he sees as complainers who step out of line, structurally, institutionally and culturally guard against and drive them out of existence. That's the soft sounding Bolt the snake who resides among us. He's standing naked for all to see.
Ultimately Bolt like Howard, like Morrison, like Abbott all saw the political opportunity in a division between "them" and "us " However that politics also encouraged the UPF, Reclaim Australia and Brenton Tarrant We have seen the increase of these groups since 2013 and Tony Abbott's Team Australia, and promoted by Andrew Bolt defining those not good enough all this time. However today he's playing Trump after Charlottesville saying "There is good and bad on both sides." but never when a Muslim does, it or Africans do it.
“it is easy to condemn the far right nut case,” but dealing with the “soil and what's been created, the culture of demonization, of fear, of incitement from main stream columnists, pundits, TV hosts, and politicians” is another matter entirely. We have been conditioned to believe that a terrorist attack is only an attack carried out by a brown dude with a beard shouting something in Arabic. Of course, statistics show otherwise. The ADL says three-quarters of terrorist deaths in the United States over the past decade were carried out by far right domestic white nationalist terrorists, a quarter by Muslims. Can we say that the media coverage of terrorism in this country is 75 percent white nationalists, 25 percent Islamic terrorists? In face, Georgia State University did a study. They found that a Muslim terrorist gets four and a half times as much coverage of his crimes as a non-Muslim terrorist. Four and a half times. a non-Muslim terrorist has to kill, on average, seven people more than a Muslim terrorist to get equal coverage, as a Muslim terrorist. That's a hashtag media fail. And I'm always reminded of that old viral tweet that terrorism is one of the only areas where white people do most of the work and get none of the credit.
Andrew Bolt is Pro Israel and says he's pro-free speech he's joking, isn't he?
The IDF Censor prohibited the publication of more news reports last year than in almost any other year this decade. While fewer articles were submitted for review than in previous years, the percentage of stories that were partially or fully censored was significantly higher. Beyond the direct harm to freedom of the press – with 22,371 stories over the past eight years that were disqualified entirely or in part – it is likely to assume that the mere existence of a censor creates a chilling effect. Israeli journalists know what issues they cannot report on, and often simply avoid them to begin with.
Will the UNHR pay greater attention to Andrew Bolt and his vilification of Muslims, Africans, Aborigines, Lebanese, and countless other minorities demanding "WHO LET THEM IN? He was a Milo sponsor along with Tim Wilson, James Patterson, among others.
Scott Morrison is right to say these problems have been with us for many years. But he would do better to point out that our downward trajectory sharply accelerated after John Howard’s “dark victory” of 2001. The unwinnable election was won on the back of the arrival of asylum seekers on the MV Tampa in August followed by the September 11 attacks, and at the price of John Howard and the Liberal party embracing the white supremacist extremist politics of Pauline Hanson. Both major parties, it must be said, succumbed to the lure of giving focus groups and pollsters the tough language and inhumane policies the public appeared to demand and reward. We are now beginning to see the true price that we have paid with the demonising of those arriving by boat seeking asylum, or looking too dark-skinned, or appearing too religious. The result has been such a cacophony of hateful rhetoric that it has been hard for those tasked with spotting the emergence of violent extremism to separate it from all the background noise of extremism.
3m PAYWALL Bolt comes to life and the very first thing you notice it's a PAYWALL. 2) Tarrant's a winner he wanted his reference to Tarrant's inspiration was "the radicalisation that helped inspire it". I can only assume that comment aligns with a right winger who cheered when post 9/11 the conservatives effectively lied to the world to justify the invasion of Iraq which gave rise to ISIL Since then Bolt has been looking for a Tarrant to fight with the conviction of Muslim Jihadis. After Barcelona, he called Western Christians weak. He even said he admired the conviction with which Jihadis fought. Well someone in Christchurch heard Bolt's voice, the voice of an ultra-right-wing spruiker in a suit just as we listened to the voice of ISIS on social media we heard Bolt on MSM. ISIS had young Australians leave the country to fight in the Middle East. Bolt hoped to create and radicalise Muslims here along with Abbott for political gain "to keep us Safe" and justify his belly cry of "Who let them in". However, all he did was inspire White nationalists and neo-nazis to come out of the closet wanting to fight. The only thing that stopped them in Australia was our gun laws. Tarrant winning is not a "he" state on Bolt's part; it's more a "we".
Bolt's really something, isn't he? If he wants to put Pell's conviction into context, he could have said there were 7000 priests globally being convicted or charged for sexual molestation and that's just the tip of the iceberg 2 in Australia were found not guilty on appeal. The media then according to Bolt ought to have pause because of the 7000. 0.03% were let off. Pretty impressive math logic on Bolt's part don't you think? The law, however, isn't expected to judge on stereotype each case has to be heard and assessed on its own individual merits. That's what British justice demands.
Those 7000 cases mind you are just the tip of the iceberg and what the media is justified in doing is what Andrew Bolt does with Aborigines, South Sudanese, Lebanese and Muslims when he righteously suggests that they are all so some degree suspects. Bolt wants to own both sides of the coin when arguing.
Bolt regularly shows his ignorance. Black racism is deserved anger and understood. White Racism is a systemic disadvantage and lack of opportunity in our society that hardly justifies the passion or ease with which whites apply it. The Accor Hotels in Alice Springs are an example. When Bolt's society had and still has their Colonial foot institutionally on the throats of Indigenous Australians their anger is justified and historically understandable. When Bolt says he has the right to be angry at their anger, it's not justified. White man Bolt might be a victim of justifiable anger, but that's not Racism. White entitlement is part of the very structure of Australian society
Politico later reported that it was Hannity’s seventh interview with the President, and Fox’s forty-second. Since then, Trump has given Fox two more. He has granted only ten to the three other main television networks combined, and none to CNN, which he denounces as “fake news.” Hannity was treated in Texas as a member of the Administration because he virtually is one. The same can be said of Fox’s chairman, Rupert Murdoch. Fox has long been a bane of liberals, but in the past two years many people who watch the network closely, including some Fox alumni, say that it has evolved into something that hasn’t existed before in the United States. Nicole Hemmer, an assistant professor of Presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center and the author of “Messengers of the Right,” a history of the conservative media’s impact on American politics, says of Fox, “It’s the closest we’ve come to having state TV.”
For both Trump and Fox, “fear is a business strategy—it keeps people watching.” As the President has been beset by scandals, congressional hearings, and even talk of impeachment, Fox has been both his shield and his sword. his press secretary, Sarah Sanders, has largely stopped holding press conferences, but she has made some thirty appearances on such shows as “Fox & Friends” and “Hannity.” Trump, Hemmer says, has “almost become a programmer.” Bill Kristol, who was a paid contributor to Fox News until 2012 and is a prominent Never Trumper, said of the network, “It’s changed a lot. Before, it was conservative, but it wasn’t crazy. Now it’s just propaganda.” Joe Peyronnin, a professor of journalism at N.Y.U., was an early president of Fox News, in the mid-nineties. “I’ve never seen anything like it before,” he says of Fox. “It’s as if the President had his own press organization. It’s not healthy.”
Shine, the Fox and White House payrolls actually do overlap. The Hollywood Reporterobtained financial-disclosure forms revealing that Fox has been paying Shine millions of dollars since he joined the Administration. Last year, he collected the first half of a seven-million-dollar bonus that he was owed after resigning from Fox; this year, he will receive the remainder. That sum is in addition to an $8.4-million
2m Bolt's an American Trumpster eager to impress Rupert who believes in Citizens United that Newcorp and other corporate-like collectives should have all the rights of individuals as does the Catholic Church. Now, how Collectivist is that? Oh, only those that disagree who are called left-wing need to be brought to task. We have even heard Bolt call for academics to be sacked. Yes, Bolt dreams of collectively too but they are corporations and tax-free institutions which he claims are being treated unjustly by left-wing organisations like Australian Law. "How the collectivist Left isolates and silences conservatives whose opinions they do not want heard." Bolt " now reports this persecution of one of the people who questioned the "guilty beyond reasonable doubt" jury finding that he sexually abused two 13-year-olds straight after Mass in a room, normally busy, with an open door:"
Bolt memorises sentences like this as if they were a chorus line to an anthem because he believes it's best and only rebuttal he can offer. He degrades the 12 man jury, and judge and our entire legal system in the one breathe. Never mind he wasn't present for even a single hour of the 4-week trial. However, it only goes to show he doesn't also have the experience or the knowledge of the of what a Catholic service, in fact, is and the absolute power Priests have in their domain. Pell was top dog, and history tells us just how much gall the deviants below and protected by him had who acted in much the same manner with no regard to how many people were present. Bolt's inability to grasp that concept of power goes to show how little attention he's paid to all the other cases around the world where the clergy who would be kings committed their crimes. They had references too from the elite in Boston Adelaide, and only God knows whom to say they were innocent as well.
As for Craven how is it his word in our society is meant to be higher than those of his staff well when it comes to an opinion? It's not, but it's volume and how it's delivered unlike the staff's is. Staff are joining as individuals and are not providing theirs on behalf of faculties or as the voice of the Institution, The Catholic University. They aren't conflating Craven as their institutional voice or pretending the university is an Australian citizen like all others. Which is what Bolt's attempting to convey but we aren't constitutionally American.
In Bolt's world Unionists are illegal, corrupt can't be believed, activists. These are the descriptives always given to citizens who speak up called left, labour and unions as if that all it takes name-calling. However, all the recent Royal Commissions have found the opposite of unions to what Bolt is suggesting but found that his favoured Corporations and tax-free Religious organisations to be the worst offenders and defenders of unwonted deviants in the country.
All of this too suggest Pells defenders are collective martyrs victims of Australian citizens. We had seen it all before ISIS maintained they also were on the side of right and denied the separation of powers and due process and were martyrs "I hope that commentators helping to whip up these mobs will at least one day feel shame, and regardless of whether Pell's appeal succeeds or fails."
Bolt does what Bolt does in all cases where he hasn't a leg to stand on he flips the narrative. He's the indigenous Australian victim of black racism, He's the justice seeker the victim of an unjust legal system, he the male being gender bashed by LGBTQIs and Feminazis. All style for team yes but vacant of history and context a one trick pony really. "The finding against Pell should be up for reasoned debate, but what we see now is something dangerously different." Bolt Bolt's the voice of a Corporation a collective blowing smoke in the face of reality and not debate.
5m He did one with his son James as well, and they revealed their Racism. It's Andrew Bolt attempting to speak without an autocue preaching to his son Dom who was Dad's stooge. Bolt's nepotism is apparent in that his sons are meant to be clones of dad and also be afraid to walk the streets of their own city.
No, but a full review and not merely a kowtowing character reference of the man or the disparagement of the witness and what the critics weren't a party too. Cold cases are debated fairly after due process was allowed to take its course. There is an appeal coming up.
There will be lots of cases before the courts now that witness 3838 has come to light. Also a lot of discussions and the cry of foul. Will Bolt be crying Mockbel innocence and offering him character references?
Why is it the majority of citizens of Australia are always wrong as is the majority of the Liberal Party and only the minority of the party the tail that's still right? It's the tail that lied in their great victory of 2013. It was that tails management that doubled the 100-year debt. It's that tail that made Australia the laughing stock of the rest of the world. It's that tail that literally didn't do their jobs and took opposition politics into their own Party and has killed the dog. Will they be honest and change the name and show themselves?
This won't be an interview when you can't find a Liberal of any description standing up for Milo move further right and give Hanson a chance to bury herself further and still promote a huckster who owes Victoria $50,000. Why doesn't Bolt pay Milo's bill? By the way, Hanson certainly knows about violence. Tony Abbott had her thrown in jail for his mob. Who would have more beneficial to say? Palestinian peace activist denied entry to U.S. for speaking tour
Bolt chooses not to "speculate" no he wants not to be dragged into court is closer to the mark. He knows what happens when Newscorp's legal team chose not to support him.
From a person who acknowledges he doesn't "fit in" so much, so he's too timid to walk the streets of his own home town he hardly is one to give Julian Burnside any advice on what to do. Burnside might not win in Kooyong but provided there are some other notable independents going to give it a crack Kooyong won't be as blue as it once was.
The tax office says it will be making visits to more than 4000 companies between now and July to chase black economy activities.
Taking on the fry and leaving the whales alone. The people listed in the Panama Papers were offered amnesty for their criminal intent not so your local barista
32m3 Firstly nothing about Milio all about Bolt "I. Said" More security guards than crowd were in attendance along with flea-bitten celebrities who once had their moment in time. The event was held at the cheapest venue possible at Findon No Numbers mentioned but what looked like a school hall. Yes, the Daily Mail seems to have bought some photos and looks to be the only media to report it. No photos of adoring crowd were taken which tells you something. Andrew Bolt felt at home in this huge audience (off the smallest of bases) that have came to see a Jewish gay man who has married his partner but told Australians to vote against same-sex marriage, so his hypocrisy extends even to his personal life.
Now there is a survey of an anonymous crowd if ever there was one of anti " "Ethno Religious immigration" haters who turned their backs on the royalty they once loved when "Harry met Megan"? Unanswered and unphotographed was the size of that crowd The right-wing provocateur's tour was to open in Sydney but it was postponed". That alone tells all that the Milo show was less than booked out. No not a single photo was even taken of that invisible audience it must have been a huge hoot and Andrew Bolt will tell you it was. He was there along we are told by Cory and a woman once known as Kate was cheering. The Daily Mail was there or at least they reported it the only media to do so and again without numbers or photos of the crowd.
In the Liberal Party past PM's it seems are ass =wipes Fraser and Howard no longer worth listening to one, of course, is dead the other they wish was." As endorsements go, that one stinks." Bolt says of John Howard. The two men along with Menzies the longest PMs the Party ever had and they are treated as fwits by the conservatives and the likes of Andrew Bolt. He, however, turns to Nationals that minority that without the Liberals wouldn't even have a voice in Australian government. He sidesteps the National's current leader to make his point.
"But Anderson is talking from the perspective of conservative voters, who owe the parties nothing and will only vote Liberal if they feel the party fights for them."Bolt
There is no team just a group of self-interested players that want to control not just a side but the whole game the box and dice and rid the country of this stupidity called democracy why? Because they lost control when they lost Abbott the wrecker.
This is Bolt's advertising T Montgomerie's Thatcherite blog space in the UK and trying to show us just how connected he is. He did this for Rowan Dean and the Australian Spectator which he doesn't mention is at risk of closure due to a $500k defamation suit it recently lost. Dean was also booted with Latham from Sky as well oops!!
The "Great Forgetting" well it was at the behest of the Conservatives in Britain and Australia along the with consequence of the Cold War that history has been turned into myth. Post WW2 the conservatives didn't just celebrate WW2 took control of the narrative education and politicized it. Yes they analyzed how we defeated the Fascists Hitler and Mussolini but left Communism as the Great threat the shadow to be propagandized and feared after all the Blosheviks were liberators and allies as well. They weren't however to be taught or analysed in schools
That ignorance allowed us to sit back and watch 1 mill Indonesian socialists be killed without a word from us . It took us to Korea and Vietnam and has successfully taken us into losing wars ever since. It's been far from the Great Forgetting but our education has rather been the great propaganda of false news rather than a education of any note.
History in the UK and Australiahas generally been taught with a conservative bias with a fear that if Communism, Colonialism and Socialism were widely taught in schools their ideals might be adopted here after all the CPA did exist in Australia along with unions and needed to be kept under ASIO surveillance well into the 70's. So the Great Forgetting was the Systematic Burying of the best and worst of Communism worldwide. It demanded the burying of the worst of British Imperialism only to propagandize it's apparent succeses
The Great Forgetting was in fact the Great Amnesia of the real facts of history substituted with the Myths and false facts of the Great gift of Western Christian Empire of British Colonial kind that supposedly civlized the world. It left us in ignorance of the facts and perspectives offered in our education systems of the best and worst of communist revolutions. One never ever talks of the first Democratically elected Communist State in the world do they? Kerala India that brought universal health and education to it's people. Or the best of rather than the false facts of Cuba that's lived with a trade embargo place on it for over 50 years. Simply put we ran away from formally teaching notions of Universal Rights , Social Justice, and Equality in our schools and didn't just forget them. Learning about China requires learning and judging whether these things have in any way been achieved for over 1 billion people and how 300 mill could be fed 70 years ago transitioning to today where they are and have a rising middle class when we have a falling one.
Conservative Australia who might they be Andrew Bolt those that turned up to Milo's performance. The voice of Conservative Australia were who the less than 20% of White Christians who voted "no" in moderate Liberal electorates. The is truth in the fact that Turnbull has spent 2 years trying to accomodate those that won't be accomodated. The Conservatives lost their opportunity when Labor blew party unity for factional infightng. They were or at least seemed to be winning back then when they were in opposition the moment when asked to put their money where their mouths were they began going backwards. Kelly's Mystery is hidden in plain sight.
Bolt's bad faith he's open to forced assimilation as long as it's not applied to him.He 's open to bombing others but not others bombing him. He's a zealot an extreme psycho terrorist. Hear me but I won't listen to you.
Amazing isn't it how Bolt takes a work of fiction described as"gives bilious voice to an emotion whose expression is increasingly
taboo in the West, but that can grow only more virulent when suppressed:
the fierce resentment felt by majority populations when that status
seems threatened." and as recently as October of 2015 condemned the novel as"the favorite
racist fantasy of the anti-immigrant movement in the US." as his prescient predicator of the future his personal existential threat which he extends to western civilization. The problem for Bolt we don't sense the threat he happily imposes on indigenous Australians and neither do multicultured settler sovereign states.
Conservatives have been doing this throughout history sending people to war on the basis of these invented "existential threats" Vietnam and the Domino Theory being a perfect past example used in the past. Afghanistan another and then the invasion of Iraq what had been developing since before 2000 and culminating in GW Bush's opportunity to use 9/112 as his excuse to invade and grab control of the oil in Iraq .After all Bush was always a failed oil man. Bush however was merely the organ grinders monkey the instrument of a performance planned years before with the help and support of Israel and the Saudis. All this talk of a threat is an excuse for extreme right wing conservatives to gain political control.
Simple answers to a complex issues is what Bolt throws into the Science hat of global warming. It's a tactic used by anti warmists just to produce doubt not expand scientific debate. It's the main reason scientists get on with peer reviewed science and don't waste their time with the trite arguments originators like Bolt throw into the ring. Imagine if doctors had to deal with and pay attention to Christian Scientists each time decisions to operate where put forward. That would be progress in terms of Bolt's intellectual and conservative framework.
We need to CO2 the planet according to Andrew Bolt because in some limited circumstances it has benefits but if over supplied it can kill . Yes the world is getting warmer which brings more rain and in selective areas it has increased crop growth. But to say the planet is getting beneficially greener is an exaggeration. It's what Andrew Bolt's anti warmist likes to promote and he'll reference others with no qualifications what so ever as well. It's certainly not doing it in Louisiana at the moment."Warmer temperatures may make many crops grow more quickly, but warmer
temperatures could also reduce yields. Crops tend to grow faster in
warmer conditions. However, for some crops (such as grains), faster
growth reduces the amount of time that seeds have to grow and mature.[1]This can reduce yields (i.e., the amount of crop produced from a given amount of land)."Climate Impacts on Agriculture and Food Supply
No Boltonians have no concern for the finer scientific facts
As CO2 levels rise, so do carbohydrates
in plants, increasing food’s sugar content. While carbon-enriched plants
grow bigger, scientists are finding that they contain proportionately
less protein and nutrients such as zinc, magnesium and calcium.
A
meta-analysis of 7,761 observations of 130 plant species found that
overall mineral concentrations in plants declined by about 8 percent in
response to elevated CO2 levels — 25 minerals decreased, including iron,
zinc, potassium and magnesium.
New research found that as
atmospheric CO2 rose from preindustrial to near current levels, the
protein content in goldenrod pollen fell by 30 percent. Bees and other
pollinators rely heavily on goldenrod as protein-rich food for
overwintering. The loss of pollinators could devastate many of the
world’s food crops.
Research into the correlation between CO2
concentrations and the nutrient content of food is in its early stages.
More study is urgently needed to determine how crops and ecosystems will
be altered as fossil fuels are burned, plus mitigation strategies.Rising CO2 is reducing nutritional value of food, impacting ecosystems
This Is Not a Bolt Blog it's his Troll's Peter BH's
The Liberal Party has always prided itself with saying it was a faction less broad church of individuals however the conservative minority insist that is the last thing it is an are inviting the majority to piss off. If these people formed their own party they could try to take over One Nation and is they succeeded in doing that then who could they form a coalition with? No that's what they tend to do is like the Tea Party in the GOP they intend to stay put until they have destroyed the party. When that has occurred they will take on the world make this country what South Africa once was. The problem is look what Pauline Hanson did with 100,000 votes
"The feeling is that these guys, led largely by Cory Bernardi, are ready
to do something that is quasi-separate,” said one senior Liberal this
week."
Like the Dylan Voller story this is a Yes/But tale from Andrew Bolt blaming the dogs for not being able to run fast enough so their butchery for entertainment is fully deserved. So according to the Liberal defense of the Grey hound industry the logic is such that because all professional sport is systemically corrupt why pick on the Grey Hound Industry. The drug industry has been saying that as well take the money and the profits out and you'll clean up the industry. Listen and what we have is the voice of Cory Bernardi in the guise of a NSW Liberal MP " The sort of people who enthusiastically support the greyhound ban
are exactly the same people who want to shut down the live export trade,
shut down horseracing and harness racing and, in many instances,
believe that ownership of pets is abhorrent. The precedent that this
establishes is very dangerous."
"We are a party of the rule of law and laws which are rules, not
touchy, feely opinions. Social licence is a hammer used by the cultural
Left to attack that which is legal but which they dislike—coal, coal
seam gas [CSG] and mining—a vague, imprecise tool where any demagogue
can claim to be the authentic voice of the people. “So you don’t like
something; well let’s ban it.” Why? Because it has lost its social
licence. But who determines social licence?" Or is it Andrew Bolt he referring to as a demagogue.
One might well ask why Bolt prostitutes "free speech" He presents rumours and allegations as fact that the facts are yet to be proven escapes him. Nothing gets in the way of a story to embarass others not on his team. Principles like truth are just thrown aside.
" MATT WORDSWORTH, PRESENTER: Counter-terror police are investigating
whether childcare subsidies, allegedly obtained by fraud, have been funneled overseas." Subsidies of $27 mill collected by a 22 year old mastermind since 2012 when he was 16. Everything is alleged and Bolt's terrorist is out on bail "innocent until proven guilty.
According to his other source Assad was only an employee who it's claimed"Australian Government paid Assad more than $150,000
in the past financial year for more than 20,500 hours of childcare." Given Ali was only an employee he didn't run the company. Does the Government only pay $7.50 an hour to Childcare workers? Isn't that what's caused a fuss with 7/11 staff being so under paid? Bolt seems to want to believe but really doesn't have a clue
However Bolt never raises the question of money laundering as a Jewish activity which went on for years until people were in fact found guilty. It did happen and might just be still happening still today.
A Jewish Rabbi on social welfare was diverting millions of dollars of cash and I mean millions through a Sth Yarra bank in the name of charity to Israel. Only the cash was from the sales Australian diamond merchants were doing under the table to avoid GST. Millions of dollars were sent by this Rabbi with some 6+kids. Whats more the whole family was on social welfare at the time. The diamond dealers of Sydney and Melbourne 's brows were rivers of sweat as they all ducked for cover and negotiated deals with the ATO in exchange for charges being dropped. That actually did happen and weren't just alleged but these are things that don't interest Andrew Bolt
Here is an immigration fact that bolt doesn't talk about. 30% of refugees start their own businesses and are extremely entrepreneurial. The most current successful small businesses and entrepreneurs providing employment for Australians are those refugees Andrew Bolt hates and degrades the most. Lebanese, Somalis Iraqis Iranians and Syrians However that's something you would never hear from Bolt. That refugees are more likely to be small business owners than Australians are.
